Refrigerated Storage & Worktop in One

The Polar UA049-A combines substantial refrigerated storage with a strong stainless steel worktop, helping professional kitchens make better use of valuable floor space.

Frequently used chilled ingredients can be stored directly beneath the preparation surface, allowing chefs and kitchen staff to quickly access stock without moving between separate preparation benches and upright refrigerators.

Four Door Commercial Design

The four-door configuration provides convenient access to different sections of the refrigerated cabinet, making it easier to organise ingredients and quickly retrieve products during busy service periods.

Self-closing doors help reduce the amount of time the cabinet is unintentionally left open, supporting more consistent internal temperatures and reducing unnecessary energy loss.

1/1 GN Gastronorm Compatible

The UA049-A features a 1/1 GN compatible interior, allowing standard gastronorm containers to be incorporated into the refrigerated storage system.

This can streamline food preparation workflows by allowing compatible GN containers to be transferred between refrigeration and other suitable commercial kitchen equipment without having to change containers.

Adjustable Shelving

The Polar UA049-A is supplied with four sturdy adjustable shelves, allowing the internal storage layout to be configured around different ingredients, containers and everyday kitchen requirements.

Powerful Forced-Air Refrigeration

A forced-air refrigeration system circulates cold air throughout the cabinet to help maintain consistent temperatures across the refrigerated storage area.

This is particularly useful in busy professional kitchens where refrigerator doors are opened frequently throughout service. The powerful cooling system is designed to bring temperatures back down quickly after door openings.

-2°C to +8°C Temperature Range

The UA049-A operates across a versatile temperature range of -2°C to +8°C, providing chilled storage for a wide range of suitable commercial food products and ingredients.

Accurate digital temperature controls and a clear display allow kitchen staff to easily monitor and adjust the operating temperature.

Automatic Defrost

An automatic defrost system helps maintain refrigeration efficiency and cooling performance while reducing the need for manual defrosting during normal operation.

Stainless Steel Construction

Strong stainless steel construction provides the durability required for demanding professional kitchen environments while creating smooth surfaces that are straightforward to clean after service.

The stainless steel top also provides a practical additional work surface for food preparation and kitchen equipment.

Built-In Castors

Built-in castors make it easier to reposition the refrigerator when required, providing improved access around and behind the cabinet during routine kitchen cleaning.

Designed for Hot Commercial Kitchens

The UA049-A is classified as Climate Class 5, which is rated for operation in ambient temperatures from 18°C to 40°C. The product information also states that the unit has been tested and approved for use within a wider room temperature range up to 43°C.

This makes the Polar U-Series counter fridge particularly well suited to demanding professional kitchen environments where ambient temperatures can become considerably higher during service.
